Welcome new international students starting your studies in January 2026! We hope you will join us at South Quad Dining Hall to mingle and meet others from across campus! Open to new students of all study levels.
Students without a meal plan: Check-in with the IC staff member outside of South Quad between 6-7pm. This will ensure you are not charged for the meal.
Students with meal plan: If you have a meal plan, no need to check in with staff - just swipe your card like usual and join us in the Transformer room!

The International Center is excited to celebrate the academic achievement of our international graduates this May with an International Student Graduation Cord! The International Student Graduation Cord is an initiative to showcase the broad impact of international students at U-M. These blue and green cords are intended to bring visibility to the significant contributions of international students both in and out of the classroom. There is no charge for the graduation cord.
Come play another pick-up soccer game with the IC! This month’s game will be played indoors at the Sports Coliseum on a hard court (much like futsal).
This will be a very casual game and is meant for meeting other international students and scholars. We recommend bringing athletic clothing, gym shoes, and a water bottle.

December’s ISLC will take place at the Hatcher Graduate Library’s Gallery Event Space from 12:00 - 1:00 PM. Lunch will be provided!
The International Center will host a series of Immigration Update sessions to share recent visa and immigration developments.
